Tasting Notes

A unique expression of Lebanon’s lost wine culture. A surprising minerality emanating from hundreds of years deeply rooted in the Lebanese soil and Mountain culture, balanced with oriental flavors of tamarind, rose water and quince. A long earthy and stony aftertaste with hints of voile oxidation, bringing an undescribed charm.

Service Temperature: 16 °C – Let the wine breathe and experience the evolution of aromas and flavors.
